ABSTRACT:
An electrothermal thruster utilizes a generally cylindrical heat exchanger chamber. A textured, high emissivity heater element radiatively transfers heat to the inner wall of this chamber that is ion beam morphologically controlled for high absorptivity. This, in turn, raises the temperature of a porous heat exchanger material in an annular chamber surrounding the cylindrical chamber. Propellant gas flows through the annular chamber and is heated by the heat exchanger material.
